When Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and the "Corps of Discovery" left St Louis, Missouri, on May 21, 1804, their mission was to explore the vast, unknown territory acquired a year earlier in the Louisiana Purchase. The travellers hoped to find a waterway that crossed the western half of the US. They didn't.
